(NEWSER) – Calling in a bomb threat is a really, really bad way to try to get out of your final exams, a Harvard student has discovered. The FBI says Eldo Kim, 20, has confessed to sending an email warning of "shrapnel bombs" on campus, forcing the evacuation of four buildings. Instead of heading home for the holidays, the sophomore is now being held on federal bomb hoax charges, which carry up to five years in prison, reports the Boston Globe.
